Learn how to diagnose active wheel speed sensors, avoid ABS misdiagnosis, and prevent costly comebacks in your shop.

Insights into the use of built-in accelerometers and additional sensors in encoders to enable predictive maintenance and condition monitoring while simplifying installation and cabling. The FOT ...

Some designers continue to specify linear encoders for applications in which magnetostrictive sensors would work, the former is a familiar technology. However, as we'll explore, magnetostrictive ...

The simplest sensors are switch sensors. There are three types of switch sensor; contact, limit and shaft encoder sensors. All of these sensors work without processing. The most useful type of switch ...

The Model L18 absolute encoder features 13 bits/turn (8,192 counts) resolution in a 1.8-in. servo package The optically based encoder contains ASIC electronics, sealed bearinThe Model L18 absolute ...

The PST-360 rotary, through-hole position sensor combines a through-shaft design with 360º absolute position feedback in an extremely thin package.

A while back we featured a magnetic rotary encoder that [LongHairedHacker] designed. The heart of the system is an AS5043 magnetic rotary sensor which runs from $6.5-$11 and has a 10 bits ...

The most common way was to simply push a wheel against the spool or the filament itself, the rotation of which can easily be detected through a rotary encoder or Hall-effect sensor.

MTS Systems' Sensors Division's magnetostrictive sensors now provide the performance level that make them preferable alternatives to linear encoders in certain applications.
